Aoife O'Donovan
Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Aoife O'Donovan (pronounced EE-fa) moves freely beyond genre — weaving folk, bluegrass, and indie rock into something timeless. Deemed "a vocalist of unerring instinct" by the New York Times, she has released four critically acclaimed solo albums — Fossils, In the Magic Hour, Age of Apathy, and All My Friends — and accumulated ten Grammy nominations across a career defined as much by collaboration as by her solo work. A founding member of the progressive string band Crooked Still and one-third of the folk trio I'm With Her alongside Sara Watkins and Sarah Jarosz, O'Donovan has built some of her most celebrated work in partnership. I'm With Her's 2025 album Wild and Clear and Blue took home two Grammys — Best Folk Album and Best American Roots Song for "Ancient Light" — and swept Folk Alliance International's Artist and Album of the Year. Her song "B61" had earlier earned her Folk Alliance International's Song of the Year. She is the featured vocalist on The Goat Rodeo Sessions (the group with Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan, Edgar Meyer, and Chris Thile); has performed with over a dozen symphonies, written for Alison Krauss; and spent a decade as a contributor to the radio variety shows “Live From Here” and “A Prairie Home Companion”. O’Donovan continues to enchant audiences worldwide with her soul-stirring music and unwavering passion for storytelling through song.
